Matthew Whiteside (composer and orchestrator) and Emma Lloyd (Performer) discuss their recent work and the development of a new interface that opens up performative possibilities.
Title: Combining new and ancient technologies: collaborative composition and the development of a new expressive interface
Abstract: This talk details the collaborative work between Emma Lloyd and Matthew Whiteside in the development of a new piece for viola d’amore and live electronics. This project gave rise to the development of a new interface for subtle and intuitive expressive control of electronically generated sounds as an extension of the acoustic instrument. We will also present our joint exploration of the viola d’amore, an under-utilised but fascinating instrument.
